RED-CARPET HITS AND MISSES: VMAs

HITS

My favorite looks of the night were definitely Taylor Swift, Shakira, and Alexa Chung. Taylor brought out the sparkle in a flowing one-shoulder draped gown. She had one of the few full length dresses, but with her lengthy frame it looked like perfection. Btw, hating on Kayne West for stealing Taylor's moment when she won for Best Female Video! Shakira brought out her inner vixen in a studded body-con Balmain mini. And even though Pink wore the exact same dress that night (shock!), Shakira beat her out with those killer knee high boots. Lastly, Alexa Chung stayed true to her cutesy style by wearing an adorable long sleeved dress and her signature booties. No one does personal style like Alexa does!


MISSES

Omg, there were so many fashion misses at the VMA's that I found it difficult in choosing just three bad looks. First of all, we have Kayne West's gal pal whats her face (?) in a god awful snakeskin unitard. That's right, a "show all your flaws" unitard! Please, leave the leos for the dancers. Then we have Lo Bosworth from "The Hills" in what looks like my grandmother's lace doily. Come'on people this is the Video Music Awards; at least dress like you got some taste. Lastly Jennifer Lopez walked down the red carpet wearing Louis Vuitton. The dress looks like its choking her neck and the pale pink color washes her lovely complexion out. We all know JLO has style, but sadly not in this picture:(

BORING...(YAWN)

I've created this new category because as the MTV reality stars came on the red carpet, I kept getting more and more bored. Where has the fashion, the excitement, the "wow" factor gone?! Olivia usually takes style risks, but last night she took the safe road in a plain black dress that looks like its too big on her. Even her typical accessories couldn't save this outfit. Then we have Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port, both of whom are supposed to be fashion designers, yet all we see are two "cute" looks, but no standout ones. Lauren ages herself at least ten years in a boring printed dress and messy hair, while Whitney is one of many celebs to don Christoper Kane's piped mini but not one of the many to pull it off. Perhaps a bright pump would have worked better than her black booties.
